Welcome to Susan's, Stephanie,
Although my family hailed, on my father's side from Scotland, 1745 was the last time my immediate family lived there. I worship Mother, but I'm afraid that 1590-1661 stretches a bit further back than my memory!

All the best in writing your dissertation.
Please take some time to read
The Site Rules and on
The Main Page you can discover Links, Chat and Wiki for your use as well. You might also want to go to the "Announcements" section and read the two posts "Post Ranks" and "Reputation Rules" to help you with some knowledge about when you can apply your own avatars, PM, and what those lil stars mean beneath all of our names and how to get them for yourself as well!!

It's great to have you here!

Enjoy your stay.
Nichole
